Briefing, before you pay
This is what the catalogue says the scheme asks. It is not a score of your chances, and it is not an award.
- A manufacturing SME in the East Midlands.
- The technology is new to the firm, not a like-for-like replacement.
- A supplier quote is in hand.
Nothing is saved about the business yet. The writing form keeps it for the next scheme.
Still blank, and left blank on purpose: the business name, what the business does, how many people you employ, turnover and profit, the amount you will request. We do not invent figures, partners or a result.
What you put in
Plan for at least 20% from the business.
How this fits the last check
Run a check with a postcode or a place. This section will then say whether the scheme covers that place, that trade and that size.
Tick these if you can show them
0 of 3 ticked. This stays on the page. It is not an application.
